- 1- Find the amount of energy released (in kcal) by: • 1 gram of proteins • 1 gram of carbohydrates • 1 gram of fatsarrow_forwarda) Calculate the amount of energy released per gram from each type of food tested, based on the chart. b) How did the different types of food compare based on your prediction, which stated that foods with higher fats yield higher calories than foods with proteins and carbohydrates.arrow_forwardA certain fruit has a metabolizable energy of 0.4 kcal/g normally and 2.4 kcal/g after it has b een dried. Assume the fresh fruit consists of only water, sugar, and nonmetab olizable matter and find themass fraction of each in the fruit and in the fruit after it is dried, given that sugar has an energy content of 4 kcal/g.arrow_forward
- if a 12 oz energy drink has a total of 39 grams of carbohydrates (total sugars 39 grams) calculate the moles of ATP produced in the body when 1 oz of the drink is consumed assuming all the sugars in 1 oz of the drink are composed of only glucose.arrow_forward. Each gram of mammalian skeletal muscle consumes ATP at a rate of about 1x 10-3 mol/min during contraction. Concentrations of ATP and creatine phosphate in muscle are about 4 mM and 25 mM, respectively, and the density of muscle tissue can be taken to be about 1.2 g/cm'. (a) How long could contraction continue using ATP alone? (b) If all creatine phosphate were converted into ATP and utilized as well, how long could contraction continue? (c) What do these answers tell you?arrow_forwardAll are true of the Embden-Myerhof pathway EXCEPT Question 88 options: A) the products pyruvic acid and ATP under aerobic conditions enter the Krebb's (TCA) cycle to produce more ATP B) the products pyruvic acid and ATP under anaerobic conditions are converted to lactic acid and two additional ATP C) Cells use this pathway when they have no energy needs D) Begins with the conversion of glucose into glucose-6-phosphatearrow_forward
- Why does Glycolysis only release a small amount of the total available energy that can be harvested from glucose?arrow_forwardNADH and FADH2 can "create" ATP only if the cell can do electron transport True Falsearrow_forwardThe first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forward
